External Email - Use Caution        

Hello Kristian,

I have been looking at this as well, and my understanding is things are not configured “out of the box” for an X-Windows client like freeview running under the Windows Linux subsystem to work with the 3rd party Xming software running on the windows side.  For me, the freeview window is partially drawn in the X-window, but its graphics are not entirely drawn or rendered.  I will post more information when I know something more.

There is however a virtual machine with Ubuntu linux you can run on windows that has been tested and comes installed with both the freesurfer 6 and the new freesurfer 7 beta release,

Dear developers,
I’m running into an issue using freeview. I have installed freesurfer on a Linux subsystem for Windows (Ubuntu 18.04 LTS) according to the guidelines (https://surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/WindowsSupport) including Xming. The frresurfer commands work without a problem (e.g. recon all), however, freeview does not display anything even though I can successfully load volumes and surfaces (see attached image). I do not have any problems with FSLeyes or tkmedit. Any advise on what could be causing this issue? 
 
Many thanks, 
Kristian Stefanov
